        AN ACT in relation to permitting The Advocare Foundation, Ltd.  to  file

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the assessor of the town of Brookhaven is hereby  authorized  to  accept
     3  from  The  Advocare  Foundation, Ltd., a not-for-profit organization, an
     4  application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant  to  section
     5  420-a  of  the  real property tax law for the 2015-2016 assessment roll,
     6  for the parcel owned by such organization located in the town of  Brook-
     7  haven  located  at 515 Lenox Avenue in Patchogue, also known as district
     8  0200, section 973.70, block 05.00, lot 020.001.
     9    If accepted, the application shall be  reviewed  as  if  it  had  been
    10  received  on  or  before  the  taxable  status date established for such
    11  rolls. If satisfied that such not-for-profit corporation would otherwise
    12  be entitled to such exemption if the organization had filed an  applica-
    13  tion  for  such  exemption  by  the appropriate taxable status date, the
    14  assessor of the town of Brookhaven upon approval by the town of Brookha-
    15  ven town board may grant exemption from taxation  with  respect  to  the
    16  subject  rolls and make appropriate correction to the subject rolls.  If
    17  the exemption is granted and such not-for-profit corporation shall  have
    18  paid  any  tax  with regard to the subject rolls, the town of Brookhaven
    19  town board may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of  those
    20  taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remain-
    21  ing unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
